Suppose that an incumbent can commit to producing a large quantity of outputbefore the potential entrant decides whether to enter. So, the incumbent Örst chooseswhether to produce a small quantity or a large quantity. The rival then decides whether toenter. If the incumbent commits to the small output level and if the rival does not enter,the rival makes $0 and the incumbent makes $900. If it does enter, the rival makes $125and the incumbent earns $450. If the incumbent commits to producing the large quantity,and the potential entrant stays out of the market, the potential entrant makes $0 and theincumbent makes $800. If the rival enters, the best the entrant can make is $0, the sameamount it would earn if it didnít enter, but the incumbent earns only $400. Show the gametree. What is the SPNE?
